This dossier aims at contributing to the debate concerning the role of judges and courts in democratic states. While the American researchers have approached this topic many decades earlier, the role of judges and courts as political actors emerged recently in Europe. In Romania, this perspective is very rarely considered. However, this dossier has no intention to provide an overview of the investigations that have been done or that are pending. When they invited philosophers and jurists to the international workshop “Judges and justice”, which took place in Cluj-Napoca on May 18th, 2016, the co-conveners had in mind a particular approach of the topic, namely that of justice. The guiding idea of the workshop was that judges in a democratic society are called to do justice. That does not mean that other topics, such as the analyses of the effects of judicial action, legal interpretation, rights and rule of law and so forth, are less relevant.
